I make performance and film works that are preoccupied with contemporary cultural relationships with time and its multiple concepts. Ghosts, magic and disco music show up in my work as I try to understand the academic discourses of spectralities and liveness using the popular imagery and themes from gothic and science-fiction genres.
Through film, radio broadcast and live-stream, I have been exploring the limits of the transitory relationship between audience and performer. These inherently temporal mediums expose practical questions about the conditions and site of performance. I have been getting over excited by these questions and the contradictions of presenting, documenting and archiving the ephemeral moment of performance.
Here is a list of things I have made.
I sometimes play records as Shelley @shelley_dj
Shelley is an eternal romantic. She chooses and plays songs accordingly.
